PREPARE BEFORE YOU APPLY

Before you begin, it helps to know what information the Joint Application Form will require and have your project details ready.

Gilly guides you through the application and saves your progress as you go, so you can stop and return whenever you need to.

  • KNOW YOUR CONSERVATION DISTRICT

    Gilly asks for your Conservation District when you begin your application.

    Find Your Conservation District →

  • KNOW WHICH PERMIT YOU’RE STARTING WITH

    For many private stream projects, that will be a 310 Permit. Your Conservation District can help if additional permits may apply.

  • KNOW YOUR PROJECT LOCATION

    Have the stream or waterbody name, project location and property information ready.

  • GATHER PHOTOS, PLANS & MAPS

    Have current site photos and any plans, drawings, maps or sketches you already have.

  • HAVE YOUR PROJECT & CONSTRUCTION DETAILS READY

    Be prepared to describe what you plan to do, why the work is needed, project timing, dimensions, materials and equipment.

  • PLAN TO MINIMIZE IMPACTS

    Be ready to explain how you will reduce erosion, sedimentation, vegetation disturbance and other impacts to the stream and surrounding area.

WAIT TO BUY MATERIALS OR BEGIN WORK

DNRC recommends waiting to purchase construction materials until required permits are issued because project details or materials may change during review
